regret

Jiang City,

Inside an office in a tall building.

A young man was leaning back in the boss's chair, with a full-figured woman sitting on his lap.

The man's gaze was fixed on a video playing on the computer in front of him, his hands having wandered to who-knows-where.

But after an unknown amount of time,

The man's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he immediately cursed out loud.

"Useless, all useless."

At the same time, the woman in his arms also gasped and struggled to her feet.

"You too, get out!"

The man looked at the woman who had broken free and waved his hand impatiently.

"Young Master Rui!"

The woman softly called out, her expression full of grievance.

"Get out, didn't you hear me? I'm in a bad mood. You want money, right? Here's ten thousand, go spend it."

Chang Rui's tone grew heavier, and he took ten thousand yuan from a drawer and slapped it directly onto the woman's face.

The woman looked at Chang Rui, then at the ten thousand yuan on the floor.

She then slowly bent down to pick up the ten thousand yuan and, understanding the hint, left the office.

After watching the woman leave, Chang Rui continued to watch the video on the computer. The video was broadcasting the Fire Dragon Island official tournament, the final match between BL Team and VSNRG Team.

Chang Rui's expression twisted as he watched his team get swept.

He had been busy with the coffee shop recently and hadn't paid much attention to the tournament. When he learned that his team had been swept in the finals, he finally thought to open the video and watch.

He wouldn't have been so angry about losing the match, but in the end, they actually lost to an elderly team.

And they were completely bewildered by their opponents in all three matches, which he had never expected.

Although the game Fire Dragon Island was already on the decline, and the number of people following this tournament was no longer what it once was, so this championship wasn't very important to him, he was still somewhat displeased to lose the match in such a way.

BL Game Club.

Looking at the name of this Club, he actually found it somewhat familiar.

Chang Rui curiously opened his computer to search, and in the end, he discovered something interesting.

He found that BL Game Team was actually under Tomorrow Group, and Nan He (South and) Coffee, which he had been targeting recently, was also from Tomorrow Group.

No wonder it felt familiar. When he was investigating Tomorrow Group, he had seen BL Game Club, but from his understanding at the time, this BL Game Club had only been established for a short time, so he hadn't paid any more attention to it.

He hadn't expected that in such a short time,

This team had already won a championship.

Seeing this information,

Chang Rui involuntarily smiled.

How interesting!

His family had long been paying attention to Tomorrow Group. Their Ruishang Group had not encountered any competitors in Jiang City for a long time, but the rise of Tomorrow Group made their Ruishang Group feel pressure.

To curb Tomorrow Group's development, their first counterattack was to establish Nanrui Coffee.

And as the young master of Ruishang Group, he took on this task.

He was perfectly happy managing his own Club, but being suddenly called by his family to run a coffee shop made him very unhappy.

Now, seeing his own team lose to his opponent made him even more unhappy.

After thinking for a moment,

He picked up the phone beside him.

"Notify them to add two more Nanrui Coffee shops, also near Nan He (South and) Coffee, and lower the coffee prices by another ten percent. Also, go to the capital for an inspection and prepare to expand Nanrui Coffee to the capital."

"Will it lose money? Don't worry about it, just do as instructed."

After issuing the order, he directly hung up the phone.

A cold smile appeared on Chang Rui's lips. "Dare to provoke me, Chang Rui? I'll make sure your coffee shop can't operate first."

He believed that with the financial resources of their Ruishang Group, there would be no problem at all against a newly risen, small Tomorrow Group.

…………..

At the same time,

Outside the office.

Meng Li looked at the ten thousand yuan in her hand, feeling a hint of regret.

She had abandoned her boyfriend to be with Chang Rui, believing she had snagged a rich second-generation heir and could live the life of a rich wife.

She also believed that Chang Rui's interest in her was due to her charm conquering him.

But now she realized that she was merely a plaything for him.

Once he was tired of playing,

He would just throw some money at her and send her away.

She put the money into her crossbody bag and walked out of the office building. It was already November, and the weather outside was quite cold.

However, to win Chang Rui's favor, she hadn't worn many clothes.

A cold wind blew, and Meng Li couldn't help but hug her arms.

At this moment,

She couldn't help but think of her ex-boyfriend, Tao Ze, whom she had abandoned. If it had been him,

He would have reminded her to wear more clothes when she left, and if she wore too little, he would even chase her out the door with a coat.

Sometimes,

She would even lose her temper because Tao Ze was too nitpicky, but Tao Ze didn't care at all, as long as she would wear clothes, anything was fine.

And when it came to food,

Whatever she wanted to eat, he would go buy it for her, or cook it himself.

Even if she wanted something to eat at two or three in the morning, he would get it for her without any complaints.

Every time she threw a small tantrum, he would patiently coax her until she was happy.

But all of this, she couldn't feel from Chang Rui. If she was unhappy, she would have to deal with it herself, or he would throw a wad of cash at her and tell her to go buy things.

The money he casually pulled out was countless times more than what Tao Ze had.

She thought at the time that if he could spend so much money on her, Chang Rui must love her more than Tao Ze, so she decisively abandoned Tao Ze.

However, she now understood that the money Chang Rui spent was merely a drop in the ocean of his wealth; he didn't care about it at all.

And the money Tao Ze spent, although not as much as Chang Rui's, was all of his salary; it was his entire livelihood.

At this moment,

She suddenly realized that money cannot measure love.

All sorts of memories flashed through her mind.

The past beauty made her feel a little sad, and she couldn't help but miss it.

She suddenly wanted to find what she had lost.

To bring the man who wholeheartedly treated her well back to her side.

A cold wind swept over her body, and Meng Li shivered.

She reached into her bag, pulled out her phone, found the number she hadn't paid attention to for a long time, and clicked to call.

Watching the call connect normally,

Meng Li breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't blacklisted her, which meant Tao Ze still cared about her.

Not long after,

The call connected, but no words were spoken.

After a moment of silence.

Meng Li decided to break the stalemate and slowly spoke.

"Where are you?"

As the question was asked, the answer was still silence, no sound.

"I want to see you."

Meng Li spoke again.

At this moment,

A somewhat hoarse voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay! Location?"
